For each \( k = 1, \ldots, n-1 \), let \( M_k \) be the minimal possible non-zero value of \( \left| \frac{a_1 + \ldots + a_{k+1}}{k+1} - \frac{a_1 + \ldots + a_k}{k} \right| \), across all \( n \)-lists. We say that an \( n \)-list \( A \) is ideal if \[ \left| \frac{a_1 + \ldots + a_{k+1}}{k+1} - \frac{a_1 + \ldots + a_k}{k} \right| = M_k \] for each \( k = 1, \ldots, n-1 \).

As a result, in this country, each woman's last - and only last - child was a girl because no woman dared to have more children after giving birth to a girl. What proportion of boys comprised the total number of children in this country, assuming the chances of giving birth to a boy or a girl are equal?

Pyotr has a deck of 36 cards (4 suits with 9 cards in each). He chooses half of the cards (whichever he wants) and gives them to Vasya, keeping the other half for himself. In each subsequent turn, players alternately place one card face-up on the table, starting with Pyotr. If Vasya can respond to Pyotr's card by placing a card of the same suit or rank, Vasya earns 1 point. What is the maximum number of points Vasya can be guaranteed to earn?
